FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



Wherever high-class decorations are required during Summer, these plants are 

 indispensable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the 

 house with equal satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for en- 

 livening groups of palms or ferns, they are most serviceable. They are quite as 

 desirable for bedding purposes, and may be planted out after the middle of June 

 in the sunniest situations if well watered, or in partial shade, but they should be 

 sheltered from strong winds. The tubers should be started in the greenhouse in 

 February or March, and if intended for out-door beds gradually hardened off 

 before being transferred to the open ground.
